AS4307 SVINET-1 - SOUTH VALLEY INTERNET
Residential ARIN
Summary
South Valley Internet
isp eyeball legacy
SVINET-1 is South Valley Internet, an independent ISP based in San Martin, California, serving the "South Valley" — Morgan Hill, Gilroy, San Martin, Hollister and the rural areas south of San Jose. The company was founded in 1994 and its ARIN record dates from January 1995.
What it's used for
- Residential and business internet access across south Santa Clara and San Benito counties, delivered over DSL, fixed wireless and fibre, plus VoIP phone service.
Notable
- An "eyeball" network — the addresses are homes and small businesses. Reverse DNS makes this plain, with subscriber lines named into
catalyst-dsl.garlic.netunder per-town labels. - A genuinely early registration: this AS number has been on ARIN's books since the mid-1990s under the same operator, which is rare for an independent ISP of this size.
- It survives as one of the few independent providers left in a region otherwise carved up by national carriers, and is unusual in offering copper, wireless and fibre side by side.
Interesting
- The company's domain is
garlic.com(andgarlic.netin reverse DNS) — a nod to Gilroy, the self-declared Garlic Capital of the World, which sits in the middle of its service area.

Classification and threat
Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 455 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-09. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
